Still suffering from a high school crush on Mary (Cameron Diaz), the nerdy, angst-driven Ted (Ben Stiller) tracks her down thirteen years later with the help of a sleazy private investigator (Matt Dillon) who also falls for her. Unfortunately, both men discover that virtually every man who sets his eyes on the dazzling Mary finds himself head over heels in love and determined to win her hand (20th Century Fox UK)

A superb comedy starring the beautiful Cameron Diaz and the shy Ben Stiller, who gave me a few decent laughs. There are loads of scenes I've never seen before and even though the running time is close to two hours, the film doesn't bore, on the contrary, it's reliably entertaining and tickles the diaphragm. 80%

There's something about Ben Stiller, because if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be nearly as amused by There's Something About Mary. It is Stiller's undeniable talent for comedy that makes the film's best scenes (the first attempt to gift Warren with a baseball, the hitchhiking, arrest and interrogation passage, and the battle with the dog) the best. Yes, I know he didn't (probably) write them, but I can't imagine them working that way with anyone else. And although I might have given maybe one less star otherwise, because I didn't like a lot of the stuff that others seemed to find super funny (anything with Magda, then of course the hair gel, the stupid songwriters, Tucker collecting keys), thanks to Stiller I not only give it a third star, but I'll even watch the film again for sure because of his scenes.

It’s stupid, dumb, vulgar and endlessly foul, yet, world wonder, really funny. This is despite a few weaker moments.

From shock through reserved tolerance to bursts of laughter. A comedy that you have to approach carefully.
